I sit in my chair studying the mirror-
starring at the figures outside the square.

Day by day the world changes outside your gates.
May, June, and July dancing while they pass by.

The birds singing to the morning bells-
ringing a spell in the ears of farewells.

The houses are filled with life-
telling stories of family glories.

The world is different through your eyes.
I feel hidden from creation-
not touched by fiction.

Is this an illusion
or is it just me being human?

To many times,
I have confessed my sins by your side.

Too often,
they are forgotten.

Do you even notice the hand print stains upon your face?
Or the blackened space were my tears have fallen?

For even a priest will send me with lie,
or release me with a goodbye.

Your two sided eyes
reflect your two sided mind.

You show me a reality
without the apple tree.

You blind me with jewels
and take me for a fool.

No longer will I sit and stare at the underworld.
For the flames may be there, but I rather taste it in the air.

Nature's Colors
Tempting Summer.

Heaven's lover
Seducing Wonder.

Quietly, I stand in Spring's gentle bliss.
Experiencing the winds kiss.

When today's burden weighs you down-
To the bottom of Hell's ground.

Know that I will be waiting on the bay,
Wishing for Sunday.

What if,
Life is counted in the sky,
Or Humanity was meant for Goodbye's?

What if,
The sun and the moon did have a lullaby,
And we separated the eye's?

What if,
Night and Day was taught how to pray?
Would the earth be swayed by grace?

What if,
Our determination was devoted to His,
Salvation?

I have seen the stars dance in the shadows.
I saw the world outside my window.

Screaming faces-
Telling time with countless voices.

Ticking clocks-
Counting the skipping of the rocks.

Brushing slacks.
Footsteps jumping the cracks.

Distance watching the sunset-
Remembering the first time they met.

The painter looking out to life;
Ready to embrace it as his wife.

Raindrops stuck in memory-
Of the children's agony.

White skies-
Baptizing the sinner's tie.

History holding creation's stories-
Telling future glories.

Courage finding the opportunity-
To fight insecurity
With His purity.

Sunday shoes-
Taping to the rhythm of Blues.

Heaven singing from above-
Waiting for its truelove.

How do we see life in our minds?
How do we wait for the counting of clocks?
How do we measure the depth of our walk?
How do we climb the mountain of time?

The waves pass by
Watching the butterfly.

The light rises over the flat earth
Saying her vows.
Columbus would be proud.

The wind caring the ground's kiss,
Salty and bitter on the lips.

The saline taste of Adam's ale
Inspiring a fairytale.

Hell's floor
Scattered among the shores,
Hiding their corps.

Apollyon counting the score
From the spoils of war.

The forms in the clouds
Dancing for the crowds.
Plato would bow.

Humanity lost in it's beauty,
Waiting for the Angel's duty
To take them away from life's cruelty.
